Barns in the Towanda Area
 

These barns were on the Barnkeepers tour in 2008.

Little is known of this barn's history.  It has a classic
hip roof style with a lean-to added later.  It is likely
the barn was used for cattle.  It has a hay mow and
traditional stanchions for milk cows.

This barn was constructed some time in the 1840's. 
It is a post and beam structure with wooden pegs.
Today the hay loft has a trapeze that was used for practice
by a trapeze artist with the Ringling Brothers Circus.

This barn was built by Nelson Jones sometime prior
to 1900 to accommodate horses and cows. 
An interesting feature are the gas lights on
both the main level and in the hay loft.

The barn was built of brick.  It was used for a
major cattle feeding operation and had a large
feed lot attached.

This 1904 barn includes a loading chute, scales,
and a dip tank for dipping sheep.  The barn was built
first for horses, then cows, and later hogs and sheep.

This 1917 barn was built in post and beam
style with wooden pegs to tie beams together.
 

This 1900 barn has been turned into a three level
lodge for family gatherings and retreats.

This barn was built in the late 1860's by William Duncan,
and sits on the Duncan Manor grounds.
